every morning when I wake up, one side of my hair is frizzy. I HATE that. It irritates the heck out of me. And that side of my hair is shorter than the other. and my edges at the nape of my neck are very short. What can I do to stop it? I'm African-American if that helps.

Have you tried applying a glossing serum and wrapping your hair with a silk scarf before going to bed? This keeps my hair from getting frizzy over night...If you are a wild sleeper, use bobby pins to keep the scarf on

Hmm...do you sleep with wet hair? That can cause tangles and frizz the next morning. Try using a microfiber towel to get out all excess moisture and applying a leave-in cream conditioner overnight to smooth locks. In the morning, use a spray-type leave-in conditioner to eliminate static.

If you don't sleep with wet hair, the likely cause may be your African-American hair type, which is naturally nappy. Try sleeping on a satin pillowcase and/or wrapping your hair in a silk scarf every night so that harsh cloth fibers don't tug at your hair.

Okay, so first put your hair in a loose braid. Then take a long sleeved t-shirt and wrap your hair in it while the braid is flipped over your head. Finally, use the sleeves to tie it so it doesn't fall out when you sleep. Make sure the shirt is cotton; never sleep with a towel in your hair, it will make frizz worse.

use a great shampoo!

# 1 Assess the characteristics of your African American or Ethnic hair. You should look for a mild, moisturizing shampoo with a balanced pH value. The pH balance refers to the alkalinity or acidity of a particular product. A pH of 5 is near the Ph normal hair. A balanced pH value will help maintain the hair’s natural acidity level while giving shine and manageability to African American or Ethnic Hair. However, African American or Ethnic individuals often need shampoos with a slightly higher pH, so less acidity reaches the scalp and robs it of moisture.
#2: Make Quality Hair Care Product Purchasing Decisions. You get what you pay for, so try buying hair care shampoos, conditioners, and lotions that are natural. If not natural, look for shampoos that contain no sulfates, silicones, or glycols, because these are cheap foaming agents, hair coaters, and thickeners that strip Black hair and Ethnic hair of its natural oils.
#3: Bring Your Magnify Glass and Look at the Ingredient Labels. Look for shampoos that contain the following ingredients: Aloe Vera (light hair moisturizer for all hair types), Rosemary (hair growth stimulant, pH balancer, removes build up), Jojoba (moisturizing oil closest to normal skin), Amla ( natural oil that acts as a hair conditioner), Lemon (acts as a clarifier, adds shine, and improves manageability). Beauty 4 Ashes GodHead and Ojon shampoos work particularly well on African American hair as well as wavy and curly haired individuals. GodHead in particular works well, because it is loaded with essential and natural oils that add shine and bounce, while loosening and separating curly textured hairs. You can find their products online at wwwdiscoverb4acom.
#4: Buy a Shampoo that You are Comfortable Washing with at least Once Time per Week. If you use the correct product, you won’t have to have fear about washing your hair more often. Water is actually great for African American and Ethnic Hair. So, don’t dread shampooing that hair. With a great product, such as Beauty 4 Ashes Silky Smooth Shampoo or Ojon, your hair will actually grow more with more frequent washing.
